A Study on the Value Philosophy of the Automatic Machine System in Das Kapital

Abstract

Marx made a scientific exploration of the automatic machine system as the material carrier of fixed capital under the condition of capitalist production, and put forward the theory of compound value, including the concepts of concrete value, exchange value, abstract value, absolute surplus value, relative surplus value and so on. The value of automatic machine system is a new value form of sublation and capitalization of surplus value, which is characterized by materiality, historicity, practicality, subjectivity and objectivity.
